Using this bot

Everything that needs to be changed to make the bot your own is in the parameters of init of Bot in ircbot.py.

You will also need to create two files in the directory ircbot.py resides in, one for your password and one for your host. By default these files are called password and host but can be changed for each bot using the password_file and host_file parameters.

To create multiple instances of bots, you use the channel variable passed to init using a unique name each time.

Adding commands to the bot

• Create a new appropriately named file for your command
• In the new file implement a class that has the method execute(self, keywords, target, source, ircbot) and usage(self)
• Improper usage of a command should return -1 in execute and define the usage string in usage
• Import your class in ircbot.py
• Add your command to the list of commands in the init of Bot() in ircbot.py
